Smartsheet Mass Create Sheet Headers - Build Faster

Create all your sheet headers in seconds.
  • Mass create sheet headers in one click with the Bulk Create Columns popup so you stop adding columns one at a time.
  • Choose header types like Text/Number, Dropdown, or Checkbox and set the same formula for all headers as you create them.
  • Save hours each week on repeat tasks.

I'm going to show you how to create many columns at once in Smartsheet. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid view. Click the SSFeatures button at the top. Hover over \"Create Columns\". Click \"Bulk Create Columns\". Enter the names of the columns that you want to create. Choose the column type. Click \"OK\". Now, SSFeatures will create all of the columns for you. This saves you a lot of time and effort.
Use Cases
Monthly Tracking Sheets - Quickly add 12 columns for each month of the year instead of creating them one at a time.
Standardized Project Templates - When building templates for teams or clients, instantly create the same set of columns across multiple sheets.
Large Data Structures - Set up dozens of specialized columns at once for complex reporting or data collection sheets.

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."

So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
